Introduction to Big data

To most people, Big Data is a baffling tech term. If you mention Big Data, you could well be subjected to questions such as Is it a tool, or a product? Or Is Big Data only for big businesses? and many more such questions.

So, what is Big Data?

Today, the size or volume, complexity or variety, and the rate of growth or velocity of the data which organizations handle have reached such unbelievable levels that traditional processing and analytical tools fail to process.

Big Data is ever growing and cannot be determined concerning its size. What was considered as Big eight years ago, is no longer considered so.

For example Nokia, the telecom giant migrated to Hadoop to analyze 100 Terabytes of structured data and more than 500 Terabytes of semi-structured data.

The Hadoop Distributed File System data warehouse stored all the multi-structured data and processed data at a petabyte scale.

According to The Big Data Market report the Big Data market is expected to grow from USD 28.65 Billion in 2016 to USD 66.79 Billion by 2021.
